Cashmere Mafia, episode 5 rant!

This episode can be summed up to two key scenes. One being hot due to Mia going at it with the young stud Manny and the other being so freaking hilarious because Caitlin’s girlfriend is with child. Yeah, just when her relationship and sexual issues could not get any more complicated, she was informed at dinner that Alisha is pregnant. That was not even the best part of that scene. It was the look on Catlin’s face that spoke volumes; and her initial reply was “Congratulations!”.
So later on in the show Caitlin is approached at work by the playwright she met at the baby shower and they go out for a date and more. While this is going on Mia is casually dating that gorgeous doctor and flirting with the Manny. After a few exchanges via text messaging and looking over his photography portfolio, they get to know each other a little bit better. Mia goes over to Zoe’s home where the Manny works and they make out in the hallway, and Zoe walks in.
Zoe however is having issues of her own trying to get to her husband to celebrate their anniversary. The great thing about Zoe’s husband is that when you would predict that he would get a bit jealous over the work husband, as he sees him in a robe answering his wife’s hotel room door. He doesn’t. This guy is too good to be true, and if that was the other way around, I am sure Zoe would have handled it differently.
One disappointment with the show is how Davis seems to be one step ahead of Juliet when it comes to their marriage. Also, Juliet seems so strong and fierce but yet she let’s that creep Davis take care of the family finances. I love this story line because it shows us how some women still allow that role of “simple house wife”, in the marriage, when in fact there is nothing simple and easy about it. This episode was great with enough humor to keep you interested. My only suggestion is keep it up!

Remebering Sephia

It was like a movie script, I walk into the dealership and there she is, a beautiful burgundy Sephia sparkling in the sunshine. Her body was modernly shaped, more modern that any other automobile that I had dealt with in the past. From the first moment, I did not hesitate and question my intentions with her, she was going to be mine. The salesman came over and all I wanted to know was what was the Vin number. I left with butterflies in my stomach, nervous because I wanted that car, nervous because I did not want anyone else to buy it.
I drove fast home but safe enough not to get a ticket. I dashed over tot eh computer and waited for it to load up. I waited, one minute. Waited another minute. System error comes on the machine. I shut the computer down, rebooted and I was finally ready to access the web and check the Vin number at Carfax. The car came out clean. I gathered my important documents went to the bank and headed for the dealership. Traffic was against me, to get to my car, my Sephia I said to myself.
When I arrived at the dealership, the Kia was there. I got the car and left. Months later, I am driving my car to and from for college, from one state to the next. I purchased the car with 48,000 miles and close to her death I had 117,0000.
I started noticing problems with the sounds she made on the highway and that ended up being a four hundred dollar problem. We purchased a new set of tires and then got a new CV boot installed. Then things started going downhill more. The Sephia was not getting good power like she use to . I took her to get a complete check up with a tune up and oil change. I took her home and she began to shake as if I was taking her rooting in the back woods of South Carolina. The check engine light came on and stayed on after getting to reevaluated by a mechanic. Then within a 48 hour timeframe the starter caught on fire, I had to get a tow and paid another five hundred dollars for a new started installation while the shaking and misfire remains. The Kia is dead. I have to live with that fact, I can not put more money into this car that is not worth more than 1,000 dollars. However, she has been there through vacation trips, numerous day trips and daily commutes. My sweet Kia Sephia, dead.
